Hi, I am a Master's student at the University of Pennsylvania, working in natural language processing. I study how language facilitates reasoning and planning, with broad topics ranging from agents, RL, human-AI interaction, and interpretability. I am currently working on enabling language models to act appropriately in open-ended, real-world settings.
During my research journey, I am super lucky to be guided by my amazing mentors, Prof. Alane Suhr and Prof. Nicholas Tomlin at Berkeley NLP; Prof. Mark Yatskar at Penn NLP; Prof. Graham Neubig and Dr. Xiang Yue at CMU LTI. Thanks to their continuous support and help, I've been able to develop my research skills gradually, and enjoy the process more and more :)
My original name could be hard to pronounce sometimes. Happy to call me Maggie or Ziyu (IPA: /tsɯˇ. yˋ/) if you like, I react to both of them!
